1. How much nicer the world will be with racism far behind us.
I look forward to the day when it's a mere memory.

7. No, I'm middle-aged, and I was raised in an all-white suburb of Detroit.
A black family moved in, the only black family, my senior year of high school. There was, ahem, tension. I hear there was also difficulty when he went to the prom, I could be wrong.

I've seen that crap and have been enjoying at least that part of Los Angeles- which is a true melting pot, at least compared to Detroit.

I'm only hoping for increasingly rapid positive change. I can wish, can't I? :)

5. We should spread the "terrorist fist bump" nonsense as a joke. Hang them with their own rope.
Where do you think "Yankee Doodle Dandy" came from?

12. Even worse, E. D. Hunt said "terroris fist JAB," which makes the line
even more ridiculous.
